Details Emerge On EU-Only "Browser Choice" Screen For Windows

Posted by timothy on from the what-would-sun-tzu-do dept.

Simmeh writes "Microsoft have posted screenshots and details on their upcoming 'web browser choice screen.' Requirements include being in Europe, and having Internet Explorer set as your default browser. It comes with a few surprises, as the software automatically unpins Internet Explorer from your taskbar, and offers 11 alternative browsers."

    Wow, I started getting the article to pull up, wanted to see the images (which for some reason weren't loading) so when I clicked on one, I got:

    The image “http://microsoftontheissues.com/cs/blogs/mscorp/clip_image0024_thumb_01FF3E3A.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

    Oh, and the comments on the article are somewhat lol. somewhat.

    I have to say, I've never had anything but helpful interactions with people in the Linux community. Though I did get laughed at on IRC back in 1996, when, after spending a week getting Linux installed on a Pentium 150 machine and getting my DSL connection to work with it, I asked if there was an "easy" way of installing apps. Guess I deserved that one.
